Seems like they are trying to reignite the crypto wars, what with the FBI talking about mandatory backdoors.
It's just utterly confusing. You would think their reaction to Snowden would be appeasement, not further repression and surveillance. Can't make it too obvious this ain't a democracy.
I can actually see their reasoning: "you thought we were being hard on you? So the gloves are off now? Ok, so we'll show you what happens when we really play hard".
